iPhone calendar spam

How can I delete spam calendar invites? The spammers send the invite to my e-mail address and it automatically loads into my calendar. I don’t want to “Decline” because then they’ll know it’s an active email address. And I don’t see a way to delete the invites. I’m using an iPhone 12 Pro, running iOS 16.6.1. There are no “Subscribed Calendars” to delete in Settings, and no random Calendars in the Calendars list.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 16

Solution for me was to search email for the original sender (was on outlook account), delete mail then go to Settings, email accounts and toggle the calendar option for my outlook account sync (and selecting delete local calendar). Toggled back on and re-synced and calendar is now free of the spam invite. Annoyingly, with the original suggestion, when doing the 'Cut' and 'Delete' the Calendar app reponds with 'Delete this appointment and respond to Organiser'... this is exactly what I dont want it to do.... e.g. Confirm account active and welcome myself to some 'suckers list' for future annoyance... does need to be fixed with a 'Delete and do not respond' as this could potentially lead to further exploits / vulns. Not impressed at all.
